The Fest

In its second year, the Oak Cliff Film Festival took place from June 6-9th, 2013 at the historic Texas Theatre, the Kessler Theater, the Bishop Arts Theater, and the Belmont Hotel.

Again embracing the growing Jefferson Boulevard and Bishop Arts Districts, OCFF 2013 brought Dallas not just incredible filmmaking of all stripes, but also a DJ pool party and a capture-the-flag bike ride! A portion of all 2013 ticket and badge sales went toward the North Texas Food Bank.
